International recognition for AIA EAP
7-Aug-2024AIA's Environmental Accounting Platform has been recognised as a model worthy of exploration in Canada.
The Canadian Agri-Food Policy Institute recently published a report examining agricultural GHG accounting tools, which highlighted Australia’s approach and our EAP as a model worthy of exploration in Canada. From Education to Action: A Review of Greenhouse Gas Tools in Pursuit of Net-Zero Agriculture explores the application and effectiveness of on-farm greenhouse gas (GHG) estimation tools as the Canadian agricultural sector strives towards net-zero emissions by 2050. The report examines selected domestic and international GHG tools, assessing their relevance and utility for the Canadian agricultural landscape.
It identified the key success factors of the EAP as:
the platform is pre-competitive and integrates with existing channels
a whole-farm approach to ensure farms with multiple enterprises are able to benefit
data, intellectual property, and governance maintained by a not-for-profit organisation
a Technical Advisory Panel advises on emerging research and possible updates to the platform.
